Family Fulfills Cochin Haneefa's House Wish

Sixteen years after the passing of Malayalam actor Cochin Haneefa, his family has fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning a permanent home. The newly constructed residence, situated in Vennala, Kochi, has been named "Cochin Haneefa's A.B. Manzil" in tribute to his father, A.B. Muhammad.

The family endured a challenging 16-year period living in a rented house in Kadavanthra, facing significant financial and legal obstacles following the actor's death in February 2010. These legal proceedings, which had tied up some of Haneefa's assets, were resolved after his twin daughters, Safa and Marva, reached the age of 18.

The spacious five-bedroom home is designed to maximize comfort and features elegant interiors. Its walls are adorned with photographs and memorabilia from Cochin Haneefa's illustrious career, preserving his legacy. The housewarming ceremony was attended by industry colleagues, including actors Dileep and Harisree Ashokan.

During their most difficult years, actor Dileep provided crucial support by allowing the family to use Cochin Haneefa's Toyota Innova on film sets, generating income that served as their primary livelihood. The successful resolution of legal matters paved the way for the construction of the dream house, marking a new chapter for the family.
